The following is this month’s Member’s Only article. It is about chlorogenic acids – powerful antioxidants found in greatest concentrations in coffee that cannot help with weight loss, but also with blood sugar regulation, inflammation and brain health (including Alzheimer’s disease).

Today, I will be discussing something I have used in my practice for nearly 50 years. It is both food and medicine: unfiltered apple cider vinegar. In the next prerecorded class I will be going over the keynotes chapter for Hinoki essential oil. The next live class, scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th, will be dedicated to a demonstration of the formulation of a SPE Five Spirits Wholing Blend.

Vitamin K2 MK-7 Supplementation: Cardiovascular Disease and Osteoporosis Risk Reduction

In a couple of days, my latest article for members will be posted in the Member Zone. This article is a continuation of the series of articles that I have been posting regarding foods and supplements that can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Regarding the first method – the moxa stick method (the burning tip of the moxa stick is held about 1″ (2.5 cm) away from the skin), I have always been put off by the paper wrapping.

On the other hand, genuine olive oil is a profoundly health-building food. It may also play a potential role in preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Olive leaf absolute oil is one of the lesser known oils used in the practice of Spiritual PhytoEssencing. I also provide some crucial insight into the unique value of this oil on both physical and deep constitutional levels.
